Love Shack

Love Shack

Chapter Seven

I climb out of the limo and wave to Yugi as he walks towards the Kame Game Shop with his bag of schoolbooks.

"Jou!" Yugi smiles and runs up to me. "How are you feeling?"

"I need a milkshake."

Yugi's smile fades away, and he nods. "Come on in."

"Make it a double… extra chocolate too," I say taking his bag from him, "I'll take this to your room."

"Okay," says Yugi, "I'll be up in a few minutes. We'll talk in my room."

I nod and head upstairs while Yugi goes into the kitchen. I put Yugi's bag on his desk and collapse on his bed. I don't wait long for Yugi to bring up an extra tall glass containing my frothy milkshake.

"Here you go, Jou," says Yugi passing me the glass and sitting beside me, "Talk whenever you're ready."

"I'm confused about who I love," I say before taking a long drink of my milkshake. "If you truly love one person, you wouldn't be having sex dreams about another, would you?"

"I don't know. I've only ever had dreams about my Yami," says Yugi blushing.

I drink for a long moment before saying, "I had a dream about Seto last night. It started out with my Yami, but he wouldn't screw me even though I was begging him to. Then he morphed into Seto, and Seto was more than willing to screw me into the next century. He was so determined to give me as much pleasure as I could handle, but every touch was gentle and loving… even his fingers inside stretching me. I didn't feel a single bit of pain when he penetrated me, and I should have! His cock's huge!"

"Don't you mean that dream Seto's cock is huge?" asks Yugi as I blush beet red.

"I mean both, I think," I say, "I don't know for certain, but I think I raped Seto while I had the dream last night. I couldn't find my pajamas so I went to bed naked, and I couldn't sleep so I went to bed with Seto. He sleeps naked… He was limping this morning. There was some blood on the sheets, and my hand was covered with come that I'm not sure is mine!"

Yugi's eyes widen. "Did you ask him?"

"Sort of… He dodged the question," I say, "I don't blame him. I wouldn't admit to being raped by a guy either."

"Maybe he was half-asleep and thought it was a dream," says Yugi.

I finish my milkshake quickly. "Do you think it means I don't love Yami?"

"I don't know what it means, but it could be that you're still uncertain about the difference between love and lust or that just maybe you're in love with Seto and think you love Yami because he shares some qualities with Seto," says Yugi rapidly, "Or maybe you want Seto to be Yami so you can love them both. I don't know! Do I look like a dream therapist to you?"

I blink at Yugi in shock. "I'm sorry. Your head isn't going to explode, is it?"

Yugi laughs.

"I'm over thinking everything, aren't I?" I ask laughing.

"Just go with the flow, Jou!" exclaims Yugi, "If you're meant to be with one of them, then it'll become clear in time."

"Thanks, Yugi! You're the best!" I exclaim, "I'm going to go home now. I'll see you tomorrow at the funeral, right?"

"Of course. I'll be there," says Yugi, "If you need anything…"

"I won't hesitate to ask." I pat Yugi on the shoulder lightly before heading down the stairs with my empty glass. I take my glass into the kitchen and rinse it thoroughly before leaving it beside the blender. I head out to the waiting limo to return to the mansion.

Once I arrive at the mansion, I head upstairs to write my letter to Yami in my room.

I knock lightly on the door to Seto's bedroom.

"Come in."

I open the door in time to see Seto pulling on a white dress shirt and starting to button it. "Well don't you look all professional!"

Seto turns to look at me, and he smiles. "I have a dinner meeting with a very important executive of another company. The restaurant has a jacket and tie policy. I have to leave soon in order to give Yami your message before I go to the restaurant."

"Yeah. I wrote the letter for him," I say holding up a sheet of paper neatly folded in my hand.

Seto walks up to me and takes both my hands with his. His blue eyes stare straight through my own brown eyes to see into my soul. "Are you going to be okay here alone?"

"I won't be alone. I'll have Mokuba…"

"Yeah…" Seto pulls me up against his chest and wraps his strong arms around me.

I feel safe. Nothing could hurt me while I'm protected by my Blue-Eyes White Dragon's embrace… Um, wait a minute… Did I just call Seto 'my Blue-Eyes White Dragon'? Yami's my Blue-Eyes! Not Seto…

Seto slowly releases me and takes the letter from my hands. "I'll give this letter to Yami."

"Thank you."

Seto grabs his sapphire blue and white striped tie and wraps it around his neck before starting to tie it.

"You look handsome."

"I'm glad you approve. Thank you," says Seto with a light blush to his cheeks.

"Is this executive a female? You look like you want to impress them."

"Are you jealous?"

I shake my head quickly.

"Anyway, there's nothing to be jealous about. I am going to meet a woman, but it's not a date," says Seto, "After all, I much prefer the company of handsome men in my bed." He flashes me a meaningful smile as he pulls on his jacket. "I'll go meet Yami and give him your message. Don't wait up for me. If this meeting goes well, I'll stop by the office afterwards."

"Okay," I say, "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Of course," says Seto taking my letter with him when he leaves the room. At least his limp seems a bit better. He heads out to the garage and uncovers the car he uses as Yami, and he drives away from the mansion. He goes to the Kaiba Corp building and heads up to his office with a change of clothes in a duffle bag. He drops the bag to the floor and flops down on his couch to read the letter I gave him.

'Dear Yami, I'm sorry that I'm not there to tell you this myself, but a lot has happened since I've seen you last. First off, my father died… on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, I moved into the mansion with the Kaiba brothers. Mokuba's a long-time friend of mine, and Seto is a close friend even if we do get on each other's nerves more often than not. He's been very helpful to me with coping and stuff. I know I told you that he's an ass, but he's getting better. He's really starting to grow on me, which is nice since I'm living with him now… I'm sure he's told you that I don't feel like clubbing this weekend, but I do want to see you. The funeral is tomorrow at noon. Can you come? Please? Call me. Hikari.' A phone number scrolls across the bottom of the paper.

Seto changes his clothes quickly in his office bathroom and goes through his transformation into Yami.

Mokuba snatches up the ringing phone. "Kaiba."

I glance over at the young brunet.

"Jou, do you know someone called Yami Yinyang?" asks Mokuba looking over at me curiously.

"Yeah. He's my boyfriend."

"Okay, he's cool. Let him in," says Mokuba into the phone. He lowers the phone back down into the cradle.

I blink at Mokuba curiously.

"Shouldn't you be on your way to the front door to let him in?" asks Mokuba.

"You mean… he's here?" I ask jumping to my feet.

Mokuba nods. "That was security. They just let him in the gate. He should be ringing the doorbell anytime now."

I run towards the front door just as the sound of chimes echoes through the mansion. I slam into the door and swing it open to see you standing there.

You're wearing your tightest, black leather pants and a muscle-bearing blue net tank top beneath your leather jacket. You hold out a bouquet of multi-colored roses towards me. "I've missed you, Hikari."

I throw my arms around your neck and kiss you quickly. "I've missed you too, Yami!"

"May I come in?" you ask smiling at me.

I blush. I release you and step back. "Yes. I'm sorry. Come on in."

"We should get these flowers in water," you say coming inside and closing the door behind you.

"Right! I have a vase in my room!" I exclaim, "Follow me!"

You place your hand on the small of my back as I lead you up to my bedroom.

I grab my great, great grandmother's vase from the top of my dresser and lead you into the bathroom so we can tend to the flowers together.

"You have a nice room," you say as I start to trim the flowers and place them in the vase.

"Thanks. I like it! Seto's been very good to me," I say smiling, "So I see he gave you my message or else you wouldn't be here. I'm glad to see you, but I'm not in the mood for the Love Shack tonight."

"I know. I understand, but I wanted to see you. I wanted to hold you and kiss you," you say, "and give you the flowers I bought for you. We had planned to walk around the park and eat dinner. Do you suppose you might be up to that part of our date?"

I place the last flower in the vase and turn to kiss you.

"We could just walk around the park all night and then have breakfast at Tiffany's. I'm afraid I can't go to the funeral. I have to work tomorrow," you say, "and I can't call in sick."

"Oh. I understand," I say, "At least we can have tonight." I carry the vase back out to my dresser. "Although I should shower and change first. I don't suppose I could convince you to shower with me, huh?"

"How about a leisurely bath instead?" you suggest, "Your tub is big enough we could both stretch out inside and relax."

"I'll grab some clothes to change into if you'll start the water."

"Fine," you say returning to the bathroom.

I head into my closet and grab my white jeans, Blue-Eyes t-shirt, and a long-sleeved, blue t-shirt. I carry my clothes into the bathroom to see you, sans jacket, testing the water temperature. "You look so hot!"

You turn to look at me and smirk just like Seto. "If you think I look good now, just wait until you have me naked in your bathtub!"

My jeans suddenly feel way too tight in the crotch region. "Well then let's get you undressed and into the water!"

You stand up and face me. You smile. "You help me and I'll help you."

I step into your open arms and work to rapidly undress you. I smile when I see your arousal come free from your pants.

You step out of your shoes and pants. "Now your turn."

"Yami?" I ask standing up, "I really want you. I love you, Yami! Will you please make love to me tonight?"

"Hikari… under the circumstances with your father and everything, do you think that's really a good idea?" you ask. You start helping me out of my clothing.

"I really want to make love with you, Yami… Please!"

"I'm not sure if we're ready for that step, Hikari…"

"I am. I love you!"

You pull me into a kiss as you lower the zipper on my jeans. You kneel down in front of me and pull my jeans and underwear down. "I love you too, Jou, my wonderful Hikari!"

I gasp as your mouth descends onto my erect penis as you finish removing my pants. "Oh, yes! Yami! Suck me!"

You pull away. "Let's finish this in the tub."

I'm all too eager to get into the filled tub and lie down spread eagle.

You climb into the tub with me and settle yourself between my spread legs.

"Take me, Yami… I'm all yours!"

"Have you ever been taken before?" you ask.

"Only in my dreams, but I'm ready to make them a reality!" I exclaim, "Stick your fingers up my ass! Make me ready for that big cock of yours!"

"No."

I whimper in disappointment.

"If we're going to do this, we'll do it my way," you say, "I've been taken once before. I'll still be able to walk tomorrow if you take me tonight. I can't say the same about you, and you'll need to be able to stand and walk…"

My eyes widen, and my heart fills with joy. "You'll let me take you? Oh, Yami!"

"I'm perfectly willing to bottom for the right person, Jou."

I pull you down to lie on top of me, and I kiss you soundly on the lips. "I love you!"

"I love you, Jou…"

"Do we want to do this here or in bed?"

"Do you have lube?"

"Uh… no…"

"Then we'll do it here. I found some bath oil that I put in the water. It should make for a slightly easier ride for you," you say grabbing my waist and rolling us over, "The oil's in the blue bottle if you want to apply some directly to yourself."

My cock throbs in anticipation as I grab up the bottle and pour some oil onto my hand. "I'll try to make this painless."

"I trust you, Hikari."

I kiss you deeply as my fingers slide down to caress and gently probe your hidden opening.

"Slide it in," you whisper into my ear.

I slowly push my finger past your muscle's initial resistance and into your hot body. "How does it feel?"

"It feels good. Can you go a little deeper?"

I push my finger in as far as it will go.

"Good. That feels really good," you say, "I think I'm ready for more… one more finger!"

"Okay," I whisper pulling my finger out and slowly pushing two fingers back inside until they are fully sheathed by your tight passageway.

You moan slightly.

"Does it hurt?"

"A little, but I'll get used to it," you say, "You need to stretch me further. You have to find my prostate. If you do, it'll make the pain go away…"

"Okay." I proceed to kiss your face as I scissor my fingers inside you and try to locate your prostate. I brush against something, and you jerk.

"Do that again! Do it again! Please!"

I brush my fingers against that spot again.

"Oh, yes!"

"I guess I found it!"

"Oh don't be so smug, Jou! You knew where to find it all along, didn't you?"

"I had an idea where to look," I say blushing, "After all, I've done this much to myself before."

"Quickly, Jou. I'm so close to being ready for you," you say, "Hurry and finish preparing me! I need you inside me! I love you, Jou! Make love to me!" You hand finds my cock and starts stroking it.

"Oh, Gods! Yami!" I exclaim as a wave of pleasure courses through me. I slide a third finger inside you and try to stretch you as much as possible while still keeping your prostate stimulated.

"Now, Jou! Take me now!"

I pull my fingers out, and you help me guide my cock to your entrance. I slowly thrust in, moving only an inch at a time as I push into you. "Am I going too fast?"

"No… Faster, please. I want… I need… more!"

I thrust my hips faster, finally plunging the rest of the way inside.

"I've never felt so full before," you say.

"You feel wonderful!" we both say at the same time.

I kiss you, and I start thrusting in and out of your tight anal passage. I grab your erection and stroke it in time with my thrusts.

You squirm beneath me for a moment before pushing me out of the kiss to cry out in bliss. "There! Keep up that angle! Faster! Harder! Please, puppy!"

"Faster!" I exclaim moving as you bid, "Harder! You want it, dragon, you got it!"

The water splashes around us as we join our hearts and bodies as one.

"I love you!"

"Love you!" I exclaim stroking the head of your cock.

You pull me into a kiss as your seed spurts out of your quivering member, and your muscles pulsate around my dick in your ass.

I moan in pleasure as I shoot my load up your ass.

"Damn! That was great!" You pant heavily as your hands stroke every inch of my body. "I could certainly do that again!"

"Not right this second though," I say slowly pulling out of your body, "You'll need to be able to walk tomorrow."

"Let's get cleaned up and go out to dinner," you say.

I nod. "I am getting hungry."

You grab the soap and start to scrub my body. "Why tonight? Why did you decide to tell me you love me tonight? Why did you want to make love to me so badly? I thought we wanted to take it slow."

"I just couldn't keep it in anymore," I say, "I've been waiting to tell you for awhile now, but I thought it might be too soon before. I just had to tell you now."

"I don't mind of course. I had just hoped it would have been during a more romantic setting," you say as you finish washing me.

"Yeah. I had hoped for that too," I say blushing. I watch you wash yourself in record time as I rinse the soap from my body. I climb from the tub and grab towels for us both.

You stand and take a towel from me.

We dress in a companionable silence, and we head downstairs.

I peek my head into the living room. "Mokuba, I'm going out. If you get lonely, call Yugi, okay?"

Mokuba looks over at me. He smiles. "Honestly, Jou! A long-sleeved tee beneath a short-sleeved one?"

"Be sure to eat a healthy dinner!" I exclaim grabbing your hand and pulling you to the entranceway. I slip my shoes on and grab my leather jacket from the coat closet before we leave.

You drive us to the park while I tell you about the contaminated rice ball incident and how I blamed Seto.

"So, as a way to apologize, he invited me to go to the Duel Monsters Expo with him," I say, "It's a great opportunity so I said I'd go.'

"You and Kaiba Seto at the DM Expo. It isn't a date, is it?" you ask.

"Seto knows I'm dating you," I say, "It's not a date."

"What if he wants it to be?"

"I'll punch him!"

You park the car, and we climb out. We start walking along a path that will lead us into the heart of the park.

"Hikari, is something bothering you? You seem… different… distant somehow. Are you all right? We don't have to do this if you're not up to it," you say wrapping your arm around my waist.

"Let's sit down," I say guiding you over to a secluded bench.

You sit down beside me.

"I couldn't find my pajamas when I was unpacking my stuff last night, so I went to bed naked," I say.

You nod and hold my hand gently.

"I couldn't sleep though, and I went into Seto's room. I asked him if I could sleep with him. Sometimes I just sleep better when someone else if beside me," I continue, "He said okay, and I climbed into bed. He sleeps in the buff so we were both nude. I fell asleep almost immediately."

You sit in silence and wait for me to keep speaking. You stroke my hand with your fingertips.

"I had a dream…"

"What kind of dream?"

"An erotic one."

"I'm jealous. You were naked, in bed with another man, and having erotic dreams," you say with a sigh, "I'm jealous of him."

I blush. "I was lying on a bed in a room I don't recognize. I think it was your room. That was the feeling I got from the dream. I was naked and stroking myself. You were standing in the doorway and watching me. It was kind of exciting to be watched while I tried to please myself."

"So you like to be watched? I'll have to remember that." You smile.

"But no matter what I did in the dream, I wouldn't come. I asked you to help me come. You just smirked at me, and then you started to change. You became Seto. I asked Seto to help me," I say looking down at my lap, "He walked over to the side of the bed, and his clothes vanished. He got in bed with me and started preparing to take me."

"Damn lucky bastard," you mumble.

"And I asked him to do things…"

"What kind of things?"

"I asked him to call me his puppy…"

"He calls you a mutt so you ask him to call you a puppy?" You raise an eyebrow.

I nod. "We said we love each other and then we came together. My dream self went to sleep while he cleaned me up. But then when I really did wake up, he wasn't in bed. There was blood and semen on the sheets and my hand, and Seto had a limp when he came out of the bathroom."

"Really?"

"I think I raped him as I slept."

"You would think you would have woken up during it at some point then. Did he say anything to you about it?"

"No." I shake my head.

"Then maybe you didn't rape him. It's possible that the blood was from injury he had, maybe a scratch from a garden plant. It is also possible that he slipped in the shower and that caused his limp," you say, "If you're bothered by what you think happened then ask him about it. Just come out and ask him directly."

"You're not upset that I might have slept with him?"

"No. We don't know if that's what really happened. What I'm more concerned with is your dream, Hikari." You sigh. "Do you love Seto?"

"No."

"Do you love me?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone?" you ask.

"Aren't they the same thing?" I ask.

"Let's walk, and I'll explain," you say standing.

I stand up, and we walk to a vendor's cart to get food to eat while we talk.

We walk off into the park.

"There are many ways to love someone. You love your sister. You love your friend, Yugi. You love me," you say, "Familial love… The love given to a family member. Platonic love… the love given to a friend. Then there's the type of love you give to that one special person. That is what it means to be in love. You can love many people at the same time, but you can only be in love with one person at a time."

"I'm not sure," I say as I finish my food.

"About?"

"I'm not sure about my feelings. Not my feelings for you or for Seto. Two weeks ago, I would have told you I was in love with you and I didn't like Seto," I say stopping on the bridge that crosses the small pond, "but now I'm not sure. If I truly were in love with you, then why would you have become Seto in my dream? And if I'm in love with Seto, then why do I think I'm in love with you?"

"The heart is a mysterious thing. I understand what you're going through. I went through the same thing recently," you say, "I wish I could help you unravel your feelings so that you'd know who you truly love, but it's something you must do on your own."

"I kind of figured that."

"What confuses you more? Your feelings for me or for Seto?"

"Definitely Seto. I know I love you. I have no clue how I feel about him," I say honestly.

"I think I know what we must do then. I'll tell you about it over breakfast, but until then… let's continue to walk and talk. We'll leave this subject alone for now and talk of other things…"

"Okay. So how about we talk about… books? Have you read anything interesting lately?" I ask.

You smile. "Actually, I have. I've been reading the works of an American author recently. Her name is K. Summers…"

"I know this sounds cruel, Jou…"

"Cruel? It's torture!"

You grab my face with both hands. "I'm sorry, Jou, but you need to know how you feel about Seto. Having me around could only get in the way of that. If you are truly in love with me, then this time apart will only make your heart grow fonder for me."

"So I can't see you at all until after the DM Expo?" Tears fill my eyes.

"No. You'll spend the time from now until then getting to know him and figuring out your heart…"

"What if he thinks it's a date and tries to kiss me?"

"Let him. You can always punch him for it later if you don't like it!"

I smile.

"I just want you to be sure. If you're in love with me, you'll still be in love with me after a few weeks apart. Until then, you can play the field a little and date other people. And you will go to the Expo with Seto, and you will have fun," you say leaning towards me so that our lips brush against each other's, "I will be waiting for you at the Love Shack the night the Expo ends. Come to me then and tell me who you love most."

"I will." I kiss your lips. "I'll see you in a few weeks on Saturday then."

"I will miss you, and I'll be thinking about you, Jou," you say, "I love you more than you know. You know the truth. You just have to fit the pieces together to see the big picture." You kiss me long and slow. "Come on. I'll drive you home now."

I stand up from my chair as my tears flow down my cheeks.

"This isn't good-bye, Hikari. It's until we meet again," you say wrapping both our jackets around my shoulders.

"I know, but it still hurts."

We walk out to the car, and you drive me back to the mansion.

"I'll walk the rest of the way from here," I say climbing out at the gate, "Thanks for last night."

"I enjoyed it," you say before I close the door. You wait to see me get in the gate before you drive away.

I hear the TV on in the living room so I walk towards the sound. I step into the room and see Mokuba, covered in a blanket, sleeping across the laps of Yugi and Ryou who lean against each other and sleep. I smile. I pull the blankets further over them before I head up to my room to sleep a little before I need to get up.

I'm surprised at the number of my classmates who show up at the funeral as well as some of my dueling friends that I didn't even think would know about my father's death. I turn to my left after assuring Mai that I'll be all right, and I look at Seto standing beside me and looking back at me.

"Are you getting tired? Do you need something to drink?" asks Seto.

"Thank you." I grab Seto's arm.

Seto pulls me into his chest and wraps his arms around me. He holds me gently as I start to cry, and he whispers into my ear, "I'm here for you, Jou."

"Thank you." I snuggle further into Seto's embrace and cry myself to sleep. I wake some time later in the warmth of your arms, and I mumble, "Love you."

"Time to wake up, Jou," says Seto brushing my hair from my eyes.

I look up into cool pools of blue, and I smile. "I like blue eyes…"

Seto smiles.

"If you're awake now, Jou, we can get out of the car," says Ryou giggling, "Unless you would prefer us to leave you two alone in here!"

I blink a few times before looking around. I find myself sitting in Seto's lap and cradled by his arms with Yugi, Ryou, and Mokuba on the seat opposite us and giggling. "Where am I?"

"In the back of the limo, silly!" exclaims Mokuba, "Yugi mentioned how much you love milkshakes when you're upset or stressed so we decided to get some on the way home!"

"Oh."

"Are you feeling okay, Jou?" asks Yugi.

"No." I shake my head. "My whole life is falling apart!" I bury my face in Seto's chest as I start to cry again.

Yugi's eyes widen. "This will require more than just a shake."

"So what do we do?" asks Ryou looking over at my shaking form.

"We need to go back to the mansion. Everything we need should be there… Hamburgers, fries, milkshake, uplifting music, and a picture of Shizuka," explains Yugi.

"Hold me closer, Seto," I whisper into your ear.

Seto tightens his grip on me and pulls me further into his lap. "What can I do to help you, Jou?"

"Hold me, Seto. Just hold me and don't let me go…" I wrap my arms tightly around Seto's neck. "I don't want to be left alone again…"

"No one's leaving you, Jou," says Ryou.

"Everyone I love leaves me. Everyone…"

"Did something happen with Yami last?" asks Mokuba narrowing his eyes.

"We're taking a time out on our relationship," I say before I start sobbing again into Seto's shoulder.

"Everything will work out, Jou," whispers Seto, "Don't cry, Hikari. Your smile suits you better."

I smile at the sound of your voice, and I relax into your arms. I feel the limo pull to a stop, but I don't move from Seto's lap.

"Do you want to go inside?" asks Yugi climbing out of the limo.

I slide from Seto's lap and climb out of the limo.

Seto steps out and places his hand on the small of my back as we head inside.

"I need to talk to you alone once everyone's gone," I whisper into Seto's ear.

"All right," whispers Seto, "Tonight…"

"Now, I think I was promised chocolate!" I exclaim smiling at Yugi and Ryou.
